Yay!!! Finally a new cat! What a cutie!

I love the difference adding some shelves and item frames makes!! They make my columns go from ehh to 🤩.

Last night I went a bit overboard with my trim and turned my bob into a mullet (rattails were always there). I'm freaking out because between all the hair I cut off on the top and the microbangs I can't tell if I'm just not used to the person I see in the mirror or if I ruined it and I need a way to do damage control. All advice is greatly appreciated. 😭

Selling a bunch of my old Harry Potter LEGO sets! I'm hoping to sell them all together for $295 but I'll also consider legimate offers for the other ones! 😊 I'm just hoping they get a new home since mine have been stored away for a while.

It's a small collection due to its specific nature but I want to show it off somewhere. :)

I just got back from a trip to Europe and was able to (anxiously and painstakingly) bring back three F1 monster cans that brought my measly collection to 5! I had to empty them out and carefully carry three cans across two long flights and bus rides so it was quite the relief to get them home whole. I've only been a fan for about a year so my collection is pretty small at the moment but I'm hoping to keep collecting!

I don't drink energy drinks so I just buy them for the F1 novelty.

Hello! I've had a few Harry Potter sets from 2018-19 taking up space in my closet for the last few years since I stopped supporting the series. The sets I have are

2019 75947: Hagrid's Hut: Buckbeak's Rescue 75948: Hogwarts Clock Tower 75957: The Knight Bus

2018 75953: Hogwarts Whomping Willow 75954: Hogwarts Great Hall

According to Brickset they were worth ~$350 retail and ~$200 now. Is it worth it to just sell them now and get rid of them? I have all the pieces, mini figs, and instructions, and most of the boxes. Is eBay still the best place to sell LEGOs, and would it be better to sell them individually or try to sell them altogether? (Also is it better to ship the boxes or not? I've heard it makes it cheaper to not?)

Thanks for the help!

I've been collecting cards for just a couple months now and I wanted to show off my first pull from a pack that was worth more than a couple dollars! The card is ~$25 I believe, but I have no plans to sell it. It makes a colorful addition to my binders!

Hello! I've spent some time cleaning up my 1965 Ludwig snare, and I wanted to show it off since it's a gorgeous snare, and I need my hours of work polishing to be recognized. (Especially those little screws and washers. If I can go the rest of my life without smelling Colonel Brassy Polish I will die happy.)

Additionally, I have two questions. The snare is currently missing it's tension rods and it's snares. The cost to replace both with parts from the 60s-70s is about $125. What is my snare worth as it is, and is it worth investing that money to get the missing parts?

(I'm also considering keeping it and just using it as a concert snare, in which case I'm not sure whether having newer (cheaper) snares would be better?)

Thanks for the help!

Hello! I got these two cards second hand and I was trying to scan them on TCGPlayer to add them to my collection but I wasn't able to find normal versions of either card. Both cards are normal, but searching TCGPlayer, Price Charting, and eBay, I couldn't find any matching cards. Are these cards missing from their databases or am I just going crazy?

My whole life I've been wearing gold and silver jewelry and makeup and I've never been able to figure out which one looks better on me. Everyone I talk to gives me different answers and I can't figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I apologize for the mess, I was disassembling a snare and a half that I recently got from a friend in an attempt to Frankenstein a better snare together when I decided to try to identify what kind of snares I had and found that they were older than I thought. From what I can tell, the metal one is 20-30s and the tan shell in the background is 60-70s.

The tan shell has a Ludwig logo but the metal one does not, so I'm going off of similar results on Google that seem to show the same drum.

The frame is in fairly good condition; needs some polishing of course, with a dent on the side and a few spots of rust, while the only thing broken are a few of the the small pieces that hold the tension rods to the counter hoops.

When I was trying to identify the frame, I saw a bunch of high listings on eBay. When checking the sold tab, I'm seeing a lot of similar drums sold in the last couple months for between $350-1000.

Is there a genuine demand for this type of drum or are those just random recent sales? What is my hardware worth?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
